I've been thinking the last few years about
adding firewood sales to our landscaping co.
With the cost of oil and natural gas on the increase
seems this may be a feasible asset to keep laborers
working yr round and make more money in the offseason
Let me run some numbers by you guys, and any imput
would be greatly appreciated.
Equipment needed: Bobcat(have)
wood processor.....30k
conveyor...........4k
dump (have)
6 cord log length..$85.(deliverd)
Around here a cord of hardwood goes for around
$180. Ive seen 3 contractors around here already
sell off approx 2 to 3 hundred cord off their lots.
With these numbers, seems like off season we could
generate 20 to 30 thousand, and keep workers all yr.
With the processor, the whole operation is automated
no backbreaking work. Any thoughts?!?!
